So what's it like when you first walk off that bus and are so (kindly greeted) by your drill sgt?.....I just watched some vid's on the US Marines web site( rather entertaining) and was just hoping for a warm rececption as well. Almost made it seem like volenteering for jail time.Don't get me wrong i know what i signed up for, just wondering what everyone's first thought was when the DS jumped right in your face screaming, YOUR MINE NOW MAGGOT, lol.....let's hear about it eh!
To excited to wait for the surprise!

You obviously don't - the CF is nothing like that. Look here:

The USMC is entirely different.

Why watch american army videos, when your going into the Canadian army?, things will be different.

Look at the pictures from the IAP course... particularly the drill pictures. Theres one with someone standing easy with a rifle and having the wrong hand on top... and another of someone presenting arms with his ejection port open

No... we're simply saying that the CF does things differently.
Whats that supposed to mean?

I believe it was because you were observant enough to notice such small details....which I believe would be a fine quality for someone doing Recce...

I do remember when I did BOTC that when we arrived to St. Jean via bus from the Mtl airport the Sergeant stood up at the front and said "Welcome to the Mega, my name is Sgt. Whatever, you can call me by my first name...Sergeant!"
But really, if you want to join the Canadian Forces read and watch videos about the CF. Don't look at the US...you might as well look at training videos of the Taliban training camps...its just as relevent

Go ahead....point that opinion out to your platoon staff, I am sure your course mates will "personally" thank you for it later. :
LOL......I just see and hear so much about them , and feel they deserve alot of respect.
If you have worked with our Canadian military people any, you would notice that they deserve just as much respect as the Marines. And if you worked with the American Military (I have - five years) you would notice that our military members deserve even more respect.

Holy shit guys. Never did I say cf members don't deserve respect. Stop twisting words and incinuating BS. If i thought otherwise i'd be going for a citizenship change and joining the marines instead of the CF.
I know it's hard to read tone on these forums so no bad blood, or disrespect to our troops, Looking forward to becoming a member of our armed forces, see you there.
